OUR SUCCESSFUL EXPERIENCE REPRESENTING VICTIMS OF DEFECTIVE AUTO PARTS

  • Ford-Firestone. The law firm has worked on approximately 250 consolidated personal injury lawsuits. In addition, we represented clients in class action cases against Ford and Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. stemming from accidents in which the tread peeled off Firestone tires, leading to roof crush rollover accidents in Ford Explorers. To date, the firm has settled cases for more than 200 clients involving 40 separate accidents worldwide. We have also assisted in hundreds of other cases in preparation and recovery.
  • Ford Econoline. In 2001, the firm obtained a $17 million jury verdict in a Miami state court against Ford. This wrongful death lawsuit arose from the faulty installation of a tire valve stem.
  • Ford Aerostar. In 2007, the firm obtained a $6 million verdict in a personal injury case against Ford. Our client in this case was paralyzed when the roof of a Ford Aerostar 15 passenger van failed in an accident.
  • Saturn. The firm has secured substantial settlements for clients who were ejected from Saturn vehicles due to defective seat belt latches.
  • Recovery for Front End Design Defect. A car defect lawyer at our firm settled a class action lawsuit in California against a car maker arising out of a front-end suspension design. This defect caused excessive noise as well as premature wear of the front tires. As a result of the litigation, the defendant redesigned the front end tires to eliminate the tire problem.
